Pros

Flexible scheduling friendly staff ,nice pay for just being a cook ,free meals! And if you like the job but hate the store transferring is always an option when there's one Waffle House 3 more or somewhere near! :)

Cons

Stress stress stress ,sometimes management applies to much pressure on you because you directly effect their pay with how good you provide the customers with an excellent service ,just a lot of pressure between that and you also effecting the sales people's tips

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
